Property would have been just as high and real estate deals would have been just as numerous bad the license law‘ been in forcee. License law or local option had nothing to do with the real estate boom in Grimsby. It would be silly to claim ana around urimsby was caused Nrst, by a series of good crops of fruit for a number of years. Second by the bouyant spirit that prevailed throughout the whole esountry, third on account of Grimsby having many miles of cement. sidewalks, fourth on accouut of Grimsby having an excellent system of ‘waterworks and fire protection, and fifth because Grimsby was a desirable spot to live on account of good electric light, good telephone connection, splendid transportation facilities, salubr ious climate and lastly but not by any means least Grimsby Real estate was favorably affected by the fact that Mr. John Hewitt bought a large amount of property in and around Grimsby and spent a large amount of money in the construction of his barbor and his hotel.

MONTREAL ( ) of DC me 1( t & Mas It may seem a little unseasonable jast now to agitate for better roads, aut the time will soon be here that arrangements will have to be made to look after the roads for another season and ib is well that this matter should receive early, and careful attention from those who have this work in band. ~It is with a view that these lines may come under the notice of such, that I have been prompted to pen them. R _ _The question of good roads has during recent years, been receiving considerable increased attention, and justly so; and I think the time is here, that much more attention should be giver to our highways. I admit, the prove what I say, and 1 Cooley to prove what he s Uditer 13 not U and the split is did say the closing of the bar rooms. To the people in these‘communities I say vote for local option or vete against local option just as you please, but do not vote for it under the "false" impression that the millinrium will come the day after local option has been carried. The framers and supporters of this whole decument would if possible lead people in other commurities to believe that if they get local option that their villages or towns will be free from drinkâ€" ing, that the population will increase, that the schools will be filled to overflowâ€" ing, that property will advancein value, and all this will take place on account of the closing of the baf rooms.

I am certain from my own use and obserâ€" vation of the timely and frequent use of the simply constructed splitâ€"lag drag, that our earth roads could be kept in very much better condition for traffic during the greater part of the year with very little additional expense, I~like many others had little faith in the New fangled road leveller the Farmer‘s Advocatt introduced | last spring, and which you "Independant man" bas been holding up as such a useful tool to keep the roads in just the right condition to suit you I believe it is the only thing I have ever heard of that just pleased you, and I do hope these "drags" will be ‘kept going another year, if for no other purpose than to please yon, so that this locality may enjpy a season of peace and rest. You always seem to be in the mire of trouble, and now I see in the distance a glimmer of hops for you, and as you always seem ready to give kindly advice to others, I feel it my bounden duty to lend you a helping band in time of trouble to give you a word of advice that may yet make you & happy Editor. Go to Beamsville and hear that noted divine â€"the Rev. Mr. Brown Preach, take it to beart, ponder it over seriously, and I will wateh the results.
